A steak cut taken from the smaller end of the tenderloin, filet mignon, or “dainty fillet” in English, is the most tender cut of beef…and also the most expensive. If you’re lucky enough to enjoy filet mignon regularly, today is just another day. But, for those who dream of indulging in this high quality cut of steak, go ahead and splurge on dinner tonight…after all, National Filet Mignon Day comes just once a year on August 13.
